NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING!

  • For full trip details click HERE.
  • Note itemized booking process summary re-posted HERE for easier reference. (Its also in the full trip booking details post)
  • REMEMBER...you have to sign up TWICE FOR THIS TRIP...once with Aggressor and once with SingleDivers.com but the AGGRESSOR sign up gets you on the trip. The SD.com sign up helps you manage it and get your SAVINGS REBATES!!!

 

 

CUBA!!! WOW!!! It's been MANY MANY years in the making to do this trip. First we tried landbased but the country is so poor you really can't do it. Then we tried the Spree and their boat was sold before we could make our maiden voyage! We looked at Avalon but they were over the top expensive and required extra days in Havana raising the cost of the trip several thousand dollars. And now we are using Aggressor who has found a way to do a DIVING ONLY ITINERARY so we do not have to pay $2k for a long weekend in Havana and can JUST GO DIVING!!!! 

 

The rules have changed but we can still LEGALLY and SAFELY dive in Cuba under the People To People program and enjoy many amazing things... saltwater crocs and truly pristine reefs that have had very few divers on them.

 

So join me on this amazing trip that ONLY PUTS MONEY INTO THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE and not the GOVT. In fact we have to chg the entire way we sign up for this trip in order to be in compliance. Full details will be coming soon but you will NOT WANT TO MISS THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY to dive CUBA!!!!
